On that giant capital V, one of them explained that you can make a V with two fingers (makes a peace sign). The other demonstrates how with one finger you can make something to scratch out your ear. When I first saw this, I thought he said "You shouldn't put anything in your ear, it can damage...

I haven't seen that one in decades. I wasn't aware it was 4 parts. What happens in this one, is Cookie Monster asks to use Ernie's phone "to call my mommy". Although Ernie was awaiting a call from Bert, CM makes a very long and detailed call. One break in the skit took place while CM was...

Another Julius/Jasper? Was this a Julius and Jasper animation? They were discussing what would happen if you lacked certain body parts, like if I had no nose I couldn't smell. When one asked what would happen if he had no ears, the other answered he wouldn't be able to see. The first guy...

V segments Does anyone remember these two animated sketches about the letter V? V The first one had a low key guy walking through what was supposed to be a museum. He walks past a de Milo statue and says Venus He keeps walking and sees a man playing a... Violin Two measures of fiddle...

I remember one other skit in which Bert mentions "bananas" in the context of going crazy. What happens is Bert is cold, says he feels a draft, so Ernie puts his grandmother's shawl around Bert's shoulders. For Bert that's fine, and he turns to retrieve his books, but no. Ernie continues to...

I know of two times, though I'm not sure if we actually saw Bert physically eating: When Ernie ate Bert's chocolate ice cream, and proceeded to "make some more" out of a banana, ice cubes, and some gravy. (Eeeyecch!) Oscar came in, and, with an unusual air of friendliness, gave each of them...

The boy knocked it over, sort in a spaced-out, not-knowing-what-he-was-doing mode. When the kid's mother asks how it happened, the boy said one thing after another, with a film clip to match: -- "A robber". We see a crook with a mask knock over the glass, steal a sandwich, then disappear...

Does anyone remember a sketch where a boy Muppet (Farley?) fashions a blank Anything Muppet to be the girl of his dreams? And the girl promptly rejects him? Not taking kindly to receiving the cold shoulder, the boy starts taking away her head and facial features one at a time, or in pairs as...

The boy tries to push the huge egg off and does "K, L, MNO. It doesn't seem to wanna go." I think the boy and girl did alternate lines. Another one of the boy's lines was "U, V, W. I didn't mean to trouble you." The girl's last line was "X, Y, then there's Z. (egg instantly hatches) Now...

The alphabet animation with the girl jumping rope was in the 1971-72 season, at the latest.

Does anyone remember the Grover the Waiter sketch in which he orders a sandwich from a picture on the menu? Of course, Fat Blue demands that the sandwich look EXACTLY like the one in the picture, right down to the toothpick-speared olive on top. Each time Grover came back from the kitchen, FB...

I remember two remakes from the 1970s. In one, Big Bird is making a wooden birdhouse, one about the size you'd expect for a wren or a sparrow. One of the adults asks what it's for, and BB says it's a gift for his old bird friend/cousin who he hasn't seen in years. The friend approaches, and...

Does anyone remember this alphabet animation? A girl is jumping rope with her friends. The jumps were steady and sounded like "plup, plup, plup...", almost as if you flipped your lower lip with your finger. With a rhythm she says: "I got an A, in my Apple" (can't remember exactly) "I got...

About that alphabet thread with the letters throughout the city. The music temporarily changed at about the letter M, but I think it was the same music but with different instrumentation. You can see a lot of dated things in that sequence. For example, they zoom in on a letter (M?) on a...

Against a plain white background, a man is holding a lower-case letter "e". His lecture went something like this. "E is for Elephant" A pachyderm approaches, takes the letter with his trunk and eats it. "(sigh!) E is also for Eat." Man pulls another e out of his pocket "Fortunately I...

The hand could wave hello (waves), or it could wave good-bye (waves away from the camera). It could tell when things were OK (does the OK gesture, with last 3 fingers up). The hand also did the "come here" gesture with the index finger. There was another story about a hand. This one was...

Among the "backwards" events the man was shown: someone walking his dog backwards, an airplane taking off backwards (actually landing, right? Or was that the other way around?). The one that stands out in my mind was when the man looks inside a restaurant and sees the owner "unwriting" the...

Does anyone remember an earlier skit like this? A hippie-ish but level-headed AM is leading a line of monsters. Grover is last in line, but audibly marches up front and announces, "I don't want to be last in line" (clogs feet for emphasis). So the hippie makes Grover second-to-last, with...

How many times were there when Sesame Street used a different piece of music to close the show? I know of only two times. One show was when someone was apparently moving into the second-floor apartment near Hooper's store; indeed the whole thing began with Mr. Hooper pointing to the top...

How about that Concentration/Memory Game (?) in which Cookie Monster wins a jet plane, but is sorely disappointed with the prize since the alternate was a cookie. I wasn't that old when I realized that CM could have sold the aircraft to TWA and made enough profit to buy a lifetime's worth of...
